you can also use numerical placeholders to specify multiple values. |
different languages have different ways to pluralize words. |
the syntax also supports specifying how a word should be pluralized. |
a pluralized message must include a num parameter indicating |
how to pluralize the word in different situations. |
english, for example, pluralizes “person” to “people”, |
but that doesn’t go far enough. |
the message0 plural might be “no people” or “zero people”. |
the messageFew plural might be |
“several people”, “some people”, or “a few people”. |
the messageMany plural might |
be “most people” or “many people”, or “a crowd”. |
only the more general messageOther field is required. |
the following example shows what options are available: |
the previous expression is replaced by the message variation |
(message0, message1, …) corresponding to the value |
of the countPlaceholder. |
only the messageOther field is required. |
the following example defines a message that pluralizes |
the word, “wombat”: |
<code_start> |
"nwombats": "{count, plural, =0{no wombats} =1{1 wombat} other{{count} wombats}}", |
"@nwombats": { |
"description": "a plural message", |
"placeholders": { |
"count": { |
"type": "num", |
"format": "compact" |
} |
} |
} |
<code_end> |
use a plural method by passing in the count parameter: |
<code_start> |
// examples of internationalized strings. |
return column( |
children: <widget>[ |
... |
// returns 'no wombats' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.nWombats(0)), |
// returns '1 wombat' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.nWombats(1)), |
// returns '5 wombats' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.nWombats(5)), |
], |
); |
<code_end> |
similar to plurals, |
you can also choose a value based on a string placeholder. |
this is most often used to support gendered languages. |
the syntax is as follows: |
the next example defines a message that |
selects a pronoun based on gender: |
<code_start> |
"pronoun": "{gender, select, male{he} female{she} other{they}}", |
"@pronoun": { |
"description": "a gendered message", |
"placeholders": { |
"gender": { |
"type": "string" |
} |
} |
} |
<code_end> |
use this feature by |
passing the gender string as a parameter: |
<code_start> |
// examples of internationalized strings. |
return column( |
children: <widget>[ |
... |
// returns 'he' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.pronoun('male')), |
// returns 'she' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.pronoun('female')), |
// returns 'they' |
Text(AppLocalizations.of(context)!.pronoun('other')), |
], |
); |
<code_end> |
keep in mind that when using select statements, |
comparison between the parameter and the actual |
value is case-sensitive. |
that is, AppLocalizations.of(context)!.pronoun("Male") |
defaults to the “other” case, and returns “they”. |

escaping syntax |
sometimes, you have to use tokens, |
such as { and }, as normal characters. |
to ignore such tokens from being parsed, |
enable the use-escaping flag by adding the |
following to l10n.yaml: |
the parser ignores any string of characters |
